Legal Question
What, and where, exactly is the law in California that dictates that food, once 'left out, is unusable for consumption by others?
I live witha roommate who had waffles this morning. Fine. There were 3 he didn't even make (then why did they have syrup on them). I kept him from putting the waffles back in the freezer. I am somewhat touchy on this subject. I once owned a third of a drinking and eating establishment in Eugene, OR. Best burgers anywhere. I still stand by that.

There is no such law. There are health regulations that might apply if you were talking about a commercial establishment, but not to roommates.

Legal Answer
It depends on the context. There are laws here similar to the ones you would have been familiar with when you ran your restaurant in Oregon regarding food but that would be in commercial context. In your situation there are no such laws.
So why didn't you let him put his waffles back in the freezer again? What was the name of your burger joint by the way? Perhaps you should consider getting a new roommate too.
Hope that helps, and good luck
